A large number of topics have come up that wish to make Python more
"fluent" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent_interface). This is an
example of the same general idea. In every single case, the goal has been
almost universally rejected as opposite Python's attitude.
Converting fun(a) to a.fun() might be possible automatically, but if most
such fun() functions return None because they are mutating functions, this
does not get chaining of methods, which is the underlying goal. While
technically, Python *could* usually return self from most method calls (and
libraries like Pandas do exactly that), the Python developers have very
deliberately decided that they don't want that.

Is possible some day add Uniform Function Call Syntax (UFCS) in Python like Dlang?
